I've been noticing a loss in saturation ( lighter than expected ) look to the photos I've recently uploaded to my site? any idea why this is happening? I need to order prints, but the all look a little less vibrant than my original files as viewed in PS Bridge...? HELP! :)

    Hi, can you link to the photo? Also, what browser are you using, and how are you processing the file (color space, especially)?

    Color Space is SRGB for Jpegs I'm using Google Chrome...but all the older photos I've uploaded look right? is it maybe the slight sharpening the site applies that is causing this?

    Try viewing the original in Irfanview or another photo viewing software. It's likely that you have some kind of soft proofing enabled in Photoshop and that tells Photoshop to display the photo according to that specific soft proofing profile.
    Looking at your photo in Google Chrome and Irfanview (the latter using your original file on SmugMug) side by side, it's looking the same to me other than that the display copy on SmugMug has been resized properly with some sharpening applied while the Irfanview window was just resized with no sharpening on the fly so I could get them the same size for comparison.
